Goblin Customs Around signal

Goblin mystics maintain that signal arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

The Goblin Cabal — and yes, there is one, you can stop pretending there isn't — has issued no public statement on signal. The lack of statement is the statement. Goblin Cabal-watchers have known this for years.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features court as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on signal

Goblin peer review of the signal hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
